Good to see snow back this morning. Just a bit down below here in the village and base areas but some places reporting 15cm higher up. And it looks like it's snowing nicely up there now as well, so let's hope it continues.

Bit of a wind but it doesn't seem to be affecting lifts.

Limited visibility generally though on the mountain this morning - a small price to pay for fresh. Just know where you're going.

Some decent (snow) potential late weekend into Monday too, so hopefully February will go out and March come in on a good note.
